> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MARCHETYPES-81
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MARCHETYPES-81
> Project: Maven Archetype Bundles
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Herve Boutemy
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.5
>
>
> target bytecode is configured as 1.x because it is an habit from old times
> with JDK 1.4
> since JDK 5, javac supports 5 as an alias for 1.5: this is the same for 6, 7
> and 8
> and since 9, only 9 exists, not even 1.9
> configuring 8 instead of 1.8 gives better habit for nowadays
